ATTACHMENT FOR BARBERS CHAIRS Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 4, this.

Application filed August 30, 1913. Serial No. 787,507.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS J. K011000- TRONIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shenandoah, in the county of Schuylkill, State of Pennsylanvia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Barbers Chairs; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

' parent from the following description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings: Figure I is a perspective view of a portion of a barbers chair showing my invention attached thereto and the head rest therein. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view through the attachment and portion of a chair.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawings, 10 represents the bottom or seat portion of a barbers chair, and 11 the arm thereof.

In the use of the ordinary barbers chair, when the head rest is not in use, the same "is removed from the back of the chair and placed in the most convenient spot, this usually being the shelf of the mirrors back of the chairs. This is rather inconvenient, as the head rest occupies space needed for the barbers implements. To obviate the necessity for this indiscriminate disposal of the head rest, I provide an attachment for the chair which will receive and hold the rest until it is needed.

My attachment is in theform of a box, as shown at 12, which is long and comparatively shallow and narrow, one side of which carries the perforated cars 13 respectively at the upper and lower middle portions thereof. The ears are so spaced apart as to receive therebetween the side edge of the bottom of the chair, suitable fastening de vices, as the screws 14, being passed through the openings of the ears and engaged in the edge'of the chair from above and below.

As clearly shown, the, upper and lower sides of the box are open to permit the quick and easy Withdrawal of the head "rest 15, the stem 16 of the r; st protruding below the box when the rest is in the box. The rear end of the box is open, and attached to the rear end of the outer side of the box, by means of the spring hinge 17 is an inwardly swinging door 18. The free edge of this door is arranged to engage with the inturned rear. end 19 of the inner or attached side of the box. This inturned end prevents the door swinging outwardly-from the end ofthe box In placing the head rest in the box, the cushion portion of the head rest naturally is grasped'in the hand when the same is removed from the back of the chair, and by disposing the same so that the stem 16 depends below the cushion portion, and pushing open the door with the stem, the stem will enter the box and protrude through the open bottom. Upon release of the head rest, the cushion portion will rest on the upper edges of the box. In removing the head rest from the box, the same is pulled up straight through the top of the box.

What is claimed is An attachment for a barbers chair com prising an elongated member open at the top and bottom'find one end, for the reception of the stem of the head rest of the chair, vertically spaced parallel attaching ears ex tending from the inner side of the receptacle and arranged for attachment to the upper and lower sides of the seat of the chair, the inner side of the attachment at the open end thereof having an angular portion extending In testimony whereof, I afiix my signatoward the opposite side of the attachment ture, in the presence of two witnesses.
